Chapter 1169 - 1169 1155 Everything is Ready

Chapter 1169: Chapter 1155: Everything is Ready Chapter 1169: Chapter 1155: Everything is Ready It wasn’t long before the local hoodlums arrived.

They were, of course, aware that Nangong Yao had already set foot on the island.

Qiandu Xiang decided not to beat around the bush and said, “Alright, Nangong Yao has arrived at Qingfeng Inn with the Sacred Spirit Stone. I estimate they will leave tomorrow morning, so we must act before they do. We’ve only just found out they’re at the Qingfeng Inn and still need to make some arrangements, so I think tonight is the best time for action to catch them off guard. Let’s see if you have any better ideas.”

The local gangster expressed his agreement, “I also think acting tonight is most appropriate. At that time, they’ll be at their most relaxed and won’t expect us to encircle them, catching them completely by surprise.”

“As long as Shao Hengjiang doesn’t interfere, not a single one of them will escape,” Qiandu Xiang said forcefully, not wanting to waste any more time.

“We will follow the Sect Leader’s orders,” the local hoodlum said respectfully.

Qiandu Xiang opened up the map, which showed the area around Qingfeng Inn. It was information they had only just obtained. He pointed out three crucial spots and looked at the local gangster and Baili He, saying, “The three of us will each lead a group and be responsible for these three streets. Once the signal is given, we’ll encircle them and wipe them out first.”

Qiandu Ao was extremely excited, saying, “When the time comes, we’ll set a fire first, burn their ships, so even if they escape the encirclement, they won’t escape Freedom Island.”

The local gangster was somewhat cautious, asking, “Nangong Yao has the Sacred Spirit Stone in his possession. Won’t he be difficult to deal with?”

Qiandu Xiang waved his hand dismissively, “You needn’t worry about that. Although he has the Sacred Spirit Stone, it’s not something easy to control. Last time, they almost lost control of it and injured their own. It will take some time for them to harness the power of the Sacred Spirit Stone.”

Relieved by these words, the local hoodlum’s worries dissipated.

Qiandu Xiang added, “The power of the Sacred Spirit Stone is indeed great, but if they can’t control it, it might harm them instead of hurting others.”

“Alright then, we’ll do as the Sect Leader said, destroy their boats, encircle them, and make sure none of them leave Freedom Island alive.”

After making some adjustments, Qiandu Xiang was even more confident, saying, “Well, if there are no objections, let’s proceed with this plan.”

Ye Chen had reached Qingfeng Inn, and he knew they were being watched.

They checked into the Qingfeng Inn one by one, with Shao Hengjiang, who had arrived early in the morning, sending his men to the periphery disguised as travelers and civilians.

Nangong Yao instructed his followers, “Hurry and prepare the supplies; we’ll leave here on time tomorrow. “He said this for the benefit of the mole and then dispersed.”

Ye Chen followed Nangong Yao, along with Ouyang Yue and Guan Xun, to another room.

Once Guan Xun confirmed no one was watching and the others had left, Nangong Yao entered the room.

Inside the room were Shao Hengjiang, Wan Liyun, and Nangong Yan, all awaiting them.

Upon seeing Ouyang Yue, Nangong Yan ran over, hugging her tightly as if they were close sisters, saying, “I was so scared, I thought you wouldn’t make it out.”

“I’m fine now, aren’t I!” Ouyang Yue said with a smile.

Ye Chen had seen Shao Hengjiang.

Nangong Yao glanced out the window warily, afraid of any abnormalities.

Shao Hengjiang assured them, “The inn is operated by my people. Rest assured, I’ve already sent away anyone suspicious.”

Nangong Yao then closed the window.

Nangong Yao followed Shao Hengjiang to another corner to discuss something.

Regarding the plan, it was something only the two of them had arranged; Ye Chen had no room to interject.

A large banquet was spread before them, and Ye Chen, unfazed, said, “I’m really hungry, so I won’t be polite with you.” Although they had eaten their fill of fresh food at sea, nothing could compare to the inn’s offerings, let alone this specially arranged feast.

After Nangong Yan and Ouyang Yue had their excitement, they joined Ye Chen, while Guan Xun stood at the door, watching the surroundings. Knowing there was a mole, he couldn’t allow anyone to come and eavesdrop.

“Why haven’t I seen the Black Demonic Spirit and Red Demonic Spirit?” Ye Chen asked, puzzled.

Hearing this, Nangong Yan replied, “They knew this place would be surrounded soon. How could they stay? They moved out a long time ago.”

Ye Chen chuckled and asked, “How have you been? Worried about me?”

“Why would I worry about you?” Nangong Yan said coldly, then turned and pestering Ouyang Yue to tell her about their escape, what happened afterward, and how they found out about the mole.

Ouyang Yue, famished, continued to eat as she answered.

Ye Chen nodded slightly, savoring the long-missed feast.

Nangong Yan murmured, “I was really worried you wouldn’t escape.”

Ouyang Yue said, “We owe our thanks to that Evil Spirit. If it hadn’t caused chaos, it would have been much harder to get out. We didn’t expect that, in the end, the Evil Spirit would be the one to help us.”

“Who came up with the strategy of using their own schemes against them?” Nangong Yan asked with a hint of curiosity.

Ouyang Yue looked at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen said, “Such a plan could only be conceived by someone as clever as me.”

With disdain, Nangong Yan replied, “We could have thought of that too. We had already figured it out before you came up with a method.”

“Is that so!” Ye Chen continued to eat, adding, “But this meal was very well arranged.”

“Tastes good, doesn’t it? I was the one who arranged it.” Nangong Yan had spent an entire day preparing this meal.

After consulting with Nangong Yao, Shao Hengjiang came over and said, “Ye Chen, after you and Ouyang Yue finish eating, leave.” He was very aware that they were the bait, ready to be surrounded and devoured at any moment.

“Should I leave too? Won’t that cause suspicion?” Ouyang Yue said with some worry.

“No, half a day’s time won’t raise any suspicions.”

Shao Hengjiang said, “We’ve prepared clothes here. You can change into them and then follow us out.”

Ouyang Yue asked, “We haven’t clarified the specific plan yet. Will they choose to act tonight or after midnight?”

Nangong Yao replied, “It doesn’t matter whether they act in the first or second half of the night.”

“Then when can you tell my people the specific plan?”

“You don’t need to worry about that. When the time comes, I’ll find Jiu Hu directly. For now, just follow Nangong Yan and the others out.” Nangong Yao was obviously going to stay.

Worried, Nangong Yan said, “I’ll stay with father.”

Anxious, Shao Hengjiang replied, “Yan’er, don’t worry, I’ve arranged an escape tunnel. Once we lure the fish over, they’ll make a quick getaway. There’s no need for concern.”

Nangong Yan hadn’t known about the tunnel. Surprised, she said, “So there’s a secret passage too.”

“Of course, otherwise I wouldn’t have chosen Qingfeng Inn.”

Nangong Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Nangong Yao said, “Is it only the Sacred Spirit Sect we’re dealing with here, or could they join forces with those from Freedom Island?”

Shao Hengjiang replied, “They might team up with the local snakes, but at this point, we can’t be certain. We haven’t had enough time to get a clear picture.” He took out the Sacred Spirit Stone from his bosom, intending to give it back to Nangong Yao.

“Keep the Sacred Spirit Stone with you; it’ll be safer,” Nangong Yao said. He was about to be used as bait, so how could the stone be entrusted to him at such a time?

Upon seeing the Sacred Spirit Stone, Ye Chen commented, “I was just about to ask if I could borrow the Sacred Spirit Stone to heal the Phoenix Monster. Don’t be polite; I’ll keep it safe for you.”

Looking over, Nangong Yan, who hadn’t expected Ye Chen to be so forthright, said, “You’re trying to learn from the Black Demonic Spirit and harbor ill intentions.”

Ye Chen grew anxious and said, “Who’s harboring ill intentions? Do you know how badly my Phoenix Monster was injured last time while grappling with the Evil Spirit? If it weren’t for the Phoenix Monster, you might not have been able to escape.” He reached for the Sacred Spirit Stone in Shao Hengjiang’s hand.

Shao Hengjiang quickly withdrew it back into his chest and said, “We’ll talk about healing the Phoenix Monster after tonight.”

Ye Chen was shocked by the old man’s faux niceness. He had offered to return the Sacred Spirit Stone but didn’t trust Ye Chen enough to lend it to him, withdrawing it back into his own keeping.

Nangong Yao announced, “Alright, that’s the situation. Eat up and leave quickly. Prepare for whatever needs to be done and talk after killing Qiandu Xiang.”

Ye Chen was utterly disappointed.

Nangong Yan nudged Ye Chen and said, “Thinking of claiming the Sacred Spirit Stone for yourself? No chance.”

Ye Chen retorted, “Claim it for myself? It will be the Sacred Spirit Sect’s in the future.”

“Since when is it yours to claim? Have you joined the Sacred Spirit Sect?” Her eyes widened in surprise.

“Why would I need to join the Sacred Spirit Sect?” Ye Chen served Ouyang Yue some delicious food, displaying a hint of intimacy as though they were a couple.

Nangong Yan was completely taken aback and asked urgently, “What’s the meaning of this?” She glared jealously at Ouyang Yue as she spoke.

Ye Chen smiled and said, “In the future, Ouyang Yue will be my sister, and I will be her brother. If the Sacred Spirit Stone is hers, it is also mine.”

Stunned, Nangong Yan exclaimed, “What? You two have become sworn siblings?”

“That’s right, envious? In the future, our bond will be closer than with an outsider like you.”

“What’s going on!” Nangong Yan was completely bewildered.

Ouyang Yue hurriedly explained to her.

Having nearly finished a roast duck leg, Ye Chen said, “I’d better change my clothes.” Clearly, staying here was not a good thing; it was essential to leave quickly.
